and why do you think it would not be well recieved at Critical Mass?

I feel that if we  continue to seek more laws to protect us, we likely end up 
with more laws that  will exclude us as well. Every day, law abiding, safe 
drivers, cyclists, and  pedestrians have accidents with other law abiding, safe 
drivers, cyclists and  pedestrians. I’m sure we could reduce these accidents 
by introducing more laws  to segregate us by modes of transportation and then 
by speed and then by size  etc, etc…..  but the results may be less than 
desirable as bikes get  relegated to bike paths and lanes and prohibited from 
everyplace  else…. 
If I had a moped or  scooter, I would like to think that I could ride it at a 
Critical Mass event.  I doubt that would be well-accepted but why not see it 
as an improvement over  other modes of transportation as opposed to an affront 
to the bicyclist?
